Abstract
A system may include a digital beamformer (DBF) circuit coupled to N antenna elements of an analog front end. The DBF circuit may include a plurality of digital pre-distortion (DPD) blocks and a controller. Each DPD block may correspond to a transmission path that includes one of the N antenna elements. The controller may be configured to determine one or more parameters associated with the analog front end, selectively activate some, but not all, of the plurality of DPD blocks, and determine DPD data from the one or more DPD tables for each activated DPD block based on the one or more parameters. The controller may independently configure each activated DPD block with the determined DPD data to pre-compensate a signal on a per antenna element basis to negate non-linearities. These DPD Blocks can be independently configured to realize phased array architectures with reduced antenna array power consumption and heating.
